Anaesthesia & Netting
One of the most stressful periods in the life of a farmed fish is during vaccination. Many aspects of this procedure, if done correctly, can dramatically minimise the stress for each fish, reducing any negative side effects post vaccination, and ultimately reduce mortality rates in your fish.
​
Delivering correctly anaesthetised fish to the vaccinating table is paramount. The welfare of the fish, optimal vaccination quality and safety of the vaccinators can all be supported by correctly anaesthetised fish.
Scotvax can offer fully trained staff in hand netting and machine operatives to anaesthetise your fish. Our specialist anaesthetists are trained to monitor oxygen levels, water temperature, stock density, pH levels, the health of the fish, using the correct concentration of anaesthetic, per each fish farm’s procedure, complying with the local veterinary and government guidelines. This then enables your front line staff to continue with their day to day operations, and offering you the security, dependability and knowledge of our specialists to anaesthetise your fish to the correct procedure.
